Genetic variation in male-induced harm in Drosophila melanogaster.

Biology letters - 1 Apr 2016

Filice David C S, Long Tristan A F

Abstract excerpt

In Drosophila melanogaster, prolonged exposure to males reduces the longevity and fecundity of females. This harm arises from the effects of male courtship behaviours and the toxic side effects of the accessory gland proteins (Acps) in their seminal fluids. Here, we examine the relationship between male exposure and its harmful effect on the lifetime fitness of his mates, and quantify the genetic basis for this...
